That makes it a risk-reward play for the cops...if they miss, they've confirmed someone as non-cop at the very least, which helps the Boss.

Since cops are town, I agree with this statement.In post 28, Blackberry wrote:It is however, incredibly important, that no town lie about their role.
The rest of us are not town, we are MOB! WHOOOO.
...but actually, I'm the mercenary and I'm in it to win it. Take me with you, Bossaroo! Put me in, coach!Permanent V/LA.-

Blackberry and Aronis claimed same specialty with different secondary skills. That's possible, I believe.In post 61, DiplomatDC wrote:No repeats. So the specialists do not actually specialize in the same thing.
Mod: Confirm that it's possible for there to be two specialists with the same 5 skill but different 3 skills?Permanent V/LA.-

So, I actually thought that Blackberry was a cop for most of the game, which is why I asked if everyone had claimed. But since there was absolutely no reason for mob-aligned players to lie about their roles, I had to presume that BB was in fact a specialist who was just giving off weird vibes. By the time it came to vote, there wasn't any reason for me to think BB was a cop as a result, so I didn't spend any time thinking about whether to maximize Aronis or BB's stats. Also, BBmolla asked me for my choices while I was busy doing something far more important, or I probably would have swapped those two due to Aronis claiming his stats first and thus making BB's claim of the same max stat slightly less believable.
Other than that, I think we need a much shorter deadline and will admit that this game will run a lot better in person when you can make the game take 7-10 minutes rather than 1-2 weeks. I'll be discussing tweaks with BBmolla, and we'll most likely be running a subsequent game here for further testing. Thanks for helping everyone out!
1) Agreed.In post 90, Blackberry wrote:BBMolla- I do think you should host another one though ^_^. I actually think it's an interesting game idea that hasn't been tapped for its full potential in terms of how it can be played.
A few rule suggestions (these are just my suggestions):
1. If a Cop makes an arrest within the last 24 hours before deadline, the deadline gets extended by 24 hours. If I had made an arrest 1 minute before deadline, I would have still been on the Caper, even though I had just outted myself. I feel this goes against the intention of the Cops blowing their cover.
2. Allow Cops to talk in private, maybe even if just a little bit before the game, as to mimic a real life scenario where cops would plan ahead of time .
3. Shorter deadline, or some mechanic that permits players to vote on a shorter deadline maybe, i.e, "Let's decide which night we'll commit the Caper"?
2) I think pre-game talk is potentially warranted in the forum version. This game was originally designed for FTF play, though, which is why it wasn't included.
3) Shorter deadline for sure.Permanent V/LA.
